AWG:

You are mistaken. Smart shareholders look for more than transient spikes in profit, because they know that growth is ALSO a good in an investment, and growth occurs more readily in corporations that have a sense of ethics and atttention on their people's well-being. It maky take some time for the low-brow and the unaware to learn this the hard way -- I am sure there are a few Enron execs pondering this little lesson even now. There are exceptions where bloody-minded aggressiveness appears to make fast growth and high profit appear, but they breed human misery and contain within them the seeds of implosion. Shareholders who are not aware of these things are missing the boat.


All MHO, of course.
